Srinagar, July 30

A militant was killed and three security personnel were wounded in an encounter in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday. A sniffer dog of the Army’s 29 Rashtriya Rifles’ dog unit was also killed. After the security forces received information about the presence of a militant at Wanigam-Bala village of the district, a cordon and search operation was launched by a joint team of the police, Army and CRPF. “The encounter started after the militant opened fire at the forces and in retaliation, he was killed. Two Army soldiers and a policeman were wounded. A sniffer dog was also killed,” SSP Rayees Mohammad Bhat said. The identity of the slain militant was yet to be ascertained.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
